91. ash-Shams: The Sun
 1 By the sun and his brightness,
 2 And the moon when she followeth 
him,
 3 And the day when it revealeth 
him,
 4 And the night when it enshroudeth 
him,
 5 And the heaven and Him Who 
built it,
 6 And the earth and Him Who 
spread it,
 7 And a soul and Him Who perfected 
it
 8 And inspired it (with conscience 
of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
 9 He is indeed successful who 
causeth it to grow,
 10 And he is indeed a failure 
who stunteth it.
 11 (The tribe of) Thamud denied 
(the truth) in their rebellious pride,
 12 When the basest of them broke 
forth
 13 And the messenger of Allah 
said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!
 14 But they denied him, and 
they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings).
 15 He dreadeth not the sequel 
(of events).
